Welcome to today’s edition of The Speaker Lab, thanks for being here!

On this episode listener, Maia calls in with a question about how to pay taxes on the fees you charge as a speaker. She asks if you pay taxes on the entire amount you receive, or can you subtract travel expenses too?

Although I’m not a tax specialist I’ve got her answer, and you can hear it on episode 33 of The Speaker Lab!
